Ingredients

1 Tbsp (16g) Olive Oil, divided
12 oz Broccoli Florets, cut into bite-size pieces
1 lb Ground Chicken (97/3)
1/4 C (60g) Sweet Chili Sauce
2 Tbsp (42g) Honey
2-3 Tbsp (30-45g) Sriracha (adjust for spice preference)
2 Tbsp (30g) Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp (16g) Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Ground Ginger
Sesame Seeds & Green Onion (for garnish)
Optional: Serve over 1 cup jasmine rice

How to Make Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken

1. Cook the Broccoli: Heat ½ Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring, allowing some browning to develop. Stir and continue cooking until the broccoli is a vibrant dark green (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. Cook the Ground Chicken: Add the remaining ½ Tbsp olive oil to the skillet and add the ground chicken. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, then break it apart with a spatula and cook until fully browned.

3. Make the Sauce: While the chicken cooks, mix together the sweet chili sauce, honey, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger in a bowl.

4. Combine & Simmer: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce into the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Be careful not to burn it!

5. Add Broccoli & Serve: Return the broccoli to the skillet and stir to coat. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve over jasmine rice if desired.
